When to Use This Template

šŸŽÆ

Send 18-24 hours before the class. For early morning classes (before 8am), send the evening before. For evening classes, send the morning of.

āœ… Best Practices

Include specific what-to-bring items for each class type (yoga mat, boxing gloves, etc.)

Add the instructor name and photo for a personal connection

Show remaining spots to reinforce that the class is in demand

For early morning classes, send the reminder the evening before rather than at dawn

āš ļø Common Mistakes to Avoid

Sending a generic reminder without class-specific details or what-to-bring items

Not including a cancel link, which leads to empty spots that waitlisted members could have filled

Sending the reminder too close to class time to allow cancellation and waitlist backfill

Using a boring, transactional tone instead of an energetic, motivational one

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I charge a no-show fee for group classes?

Many studios charge a fee ($5-15) for no-shows or late cancellations to incentivize attendance. A warning for the first offense followed by consistent enforcement works best.

What is the best time to send a class reminder?

18-24 hours before the class gives enough time to cancel and backfill from the waitlist. For very early morning classes, send the evening before so members see it before bed.
